The easy and short answer is no. You can not downgrade the bootloader revision.

Yes...it's in the Samfail thread. They are finishing up a deodex version of it

Yes can. V3 is the exact same as v1 except there is newer firmware and if you are coming from v3 stock you have to go steps 2, 1, 2 instead of just 1, 2.

The question is why? You can run any system (part 1) you want with your current boot and bootloader (part 2). Why make things harder and essentially completely eliminate any chance of an unlock ever, no matter how remote they may be now?

Bugs occur when using mismatched systems btw.

Yea an unlock won't ever happen it's an embedded bootloader

I've been trying to decide between the OnePlus 5T, the Note 8, and the S9+(I'd prefer the Note 8 by far). I've been told the S9+ isn't rootable, but if I'm reading this right, the Note 8 IS? Much as I want S-OFF with whatever phone I get, I'll be plenty happy with just decent Magisk root, or at least SuperSU.

I can get the SM-950U1 off swappa, and that's apparently the unlocked version, I'm assuming that's the model i need to buy?

Any Snapdragon can be rooted with Samfail. If the Note8 you are considering is on Oreo it cannot be rooted.

Since I don't know whether the seller(s) on swappa are on Nougat, Oreo, or what, I'm assuming Oreo, so I guess the note and s9+ are off my list. :/

I was under the impression, though, that 'unlocked' in this context, meant unlocked bootloader, not just sim unlocked-- which would be rootable regardless of OS version?

 

[butchieboy]

Just ask seller what version. No unlocked boot would be 950F 950U is what my At&t Note 8 is 950U1 is carrier unlocked firmware not bootloader

So to be clear the 950F bootloader is unlocked? And can be rooted even on Oreo?
